In
the centuries past,
Tashkent,
the present capital
of Uzbekistan, was called
Chach, Shash, Binkent
at various times. Each
of the names is a part
of the city's history.
Tashkent has always
been an important international
transport junction.
Unfortunately, only
a small part of its
architectural past is
preserved, due to demolition
of historical and religious
buildings after the
revolution of 1917 and
a massive earthquake
in 1966.
